Chapter 26 Chapter 26 A Guilty Conscience

"Do you want to ask Xiao? Brother Zhao to come up? To pick you up?"

A buzzing sound passed through Gu Huaiyan's chest and reached his ears. He shook his head on Ruan Zhao's chest and smelled the incense on Ruan Zhao's clothes.

It's really strange. All the closets at home use this kind of incense, but why does it smell so good on Ruan Zhao?

"Is it? Is it better?" Ruan Zhao patted him on the shoulder worriedly.

"I'm still a little dizzy. That new friend you made today..."

Gu Huaiyan's voice was very low, Ruan Zhao couldn't hear his tone clearly, he only heard Gu Huaiyan asking Zhang Ming, so he answered: "Zhang Ming said he was sick and had no one to accompany him, so I chatted with him for a few sentences, but he was just too enthusiastic." Although he certainly didn't have a problem with his brain as Zhang Pei said, he was definitely too enthusiastic.

Gu Huaiyan raised his head at this time? He looked up? He still looked tired: "You don't like people who are too enthusiastic?"

It’s not that he doesn’t like him, to be exact? Is it Ruan Zhao? There is no one he dislikes. He has a good impression of the friends he knows. He thought about it for a while and replied: “I just don’t know how to get along with him.”

The other person was talking a lot and he didn't know which one to respond to.

Gu Huaiyan was listening? His inner worries were that he was just glad that he didn't make Ruan Zhao so upset?

"Sit down, eat your meal before going home." Gu Huaiyan pushed Ruan Zhao to sit down, and the waiter really brought up a few more dishes.

Just as Zhang Pei said, the dishes were in unique shapes, arranged in the shape of hearts or flowers. Ruan Zhao took a piece of taro in front of him with his chopsticks, which tasted soft, glutinous and sweet. He glanced at Gu Huaiyan secretly, and his face turned red again after he secretly thought about the word "passionate love" in his heart.

[In the morning, Ruan Zhao just came out of the room?, and Gu Huaiyan next door also got up?, the two? were? in love, standing at the door and looking at each other?, then Gu Huaiyan reached out and pulled Ruan Zhao into? his arms...]

Gu Huaiyan, who was sitting next to him, heard what was going on and turned his head to look at Ruan Zhao. He saw him picking at two asparagus roots in the bowl unconsciously, with their heads almost stuck in the bowl. He seemed to be afraid that others would know what he was thinking, but he didn't realize that his ears, which were exposed outside his black hair, had turned red.

Gu Huaiyan raised his eyebrows calmly, complaining in his heart that the little chicken had no social experience, and that the two of them were already in love, so why didn't they come out of the room?

[Gu Huaiyan hugs? Ruan Zhao's waist: "Baby, what do you want for breakfast?"

Ruan Zhao replied: "I want to eat scallion oil noodles."

"What else?" Gu Huaiyan touched Ruan Zhao's belly through his clothes and whispered in his ear, "Do you want to eat me?"

Ruan Zhao shook his head repeatedly. Had he eaten enough yesterday? Can't eat anymore today? "No, I want to eat scallion oil noodles."

Ruan Zhao wanted to run away after he finished speaking, but Gu Huaiyan held him tightly: "Baby, didn't you? I told you not to eat scallion noodles, and you want me to hold you? You, eat both top and bottom."】

“Cough cough cough…”

A violent coughing scared Ruan Zhao so much that he jumped up from his chair. His face flushed with fear as he looked at Gu Huaiyan who was choked by water: "You, what's wrong with you?..."

Seeing Ruan Zhao shooting out like a cat, it seemed that he was frightened. Gu Huaiyan waved his hands, calmed down, and coughed, "Sorry, I was just thinking about something and choked you." Didn't you think that the little chicken had such wild ideas? If there was no one at home, it would not be impossible. Then he could give Uncle Wang a holiday, pack up some food and try to eat them together.

Ruan Zhao felt like his tail was stepped on, so he patted his chest. Fortunately, no one knew what he was thinking.

"Why are you so careless?" He sat back down and took a napkin to wipe the water stain in front of Huai Yan. "From now on, no matter what you think about, don't be too absorbed. It's really dangerous if something gets stuck in your trachea."

Gu Huaiyan looked at him with resentment. He looked at him and wondered who had done this.

When Ruan Zhao looked up at him, he nodded again in a particularly friendly manner? Nodding: "I will pay attention next time."

After the meal, the two went home with their own thoughts. Gu Huaiyan had to deal with the cooperation with Zhang Pei's hospital, while Ruan Zhao sat downstairs watching TV.

Or was it the cartoon from before? Ruan Zhao laughed while watching it? And soon forgot what he was thinking about when he and Gu Huaiyan were having dinner outside?

It was not until the next morning at breakfast that he came out of his room? and saw Gu Huaiyan also coming out from the next door? .

The two looked at each other, and Ruan Zhao felt a little nervous for some reason. Then, he saw Gu Huaiyan walking down two steps and turned to call him, "Come down and have breakfast."

Like a guilty thief, Ruan Zhaoxin followed him eagerly. He went downstairs and saw the scallion oil noodles on the table as soon as he arrived at the restaurant.

"What's wrong? Not to your liking?" Gu Huaiyan looked at him standing there? Not moving?, and pretended to be considerate in his heart like a mirror.

"No? Yes." Ruan Zhao shook his head. He was embarrassed. After sitting down, he didn't dare to touch the scallion oil noodles. However, Gu Huaiyan directly picked up the plate and placed it in front of him.

"I saw that you really liked it last time, so I asked Uncle Wang to make it again?"

Seeing that Ruan Zhao was still hesitating and hadn't picked up his chopsticks at all, Gu Huaiyan urged him, "Eat quickly, and come out with me after you finish eating." Your butt is already on the bench? And you still care about your own fantasies. If it continues like this, what will happen in the future? What if you really do it?

Was Ruan Zhao distracted? Was he finally willing to touch the scallion noodles? He asked Gu Huaiyan: "Where are we going?"

"Let's go to the mall." Gu Huaiyan lowered his head to drink his porridge. "It's New Year's Day soon? I'll buy you some winter clothes."

"Ah?" Ruan Zhao still owed him? Why did Gu Huaiyan buy him clothes for a shirt worth 5,000 yuan? Besides, he didn't need any.

Really? And Gu Huaiyan seemed to know? He was confused and said slowly: "Your family released new products on New Year's Day, and your brother is about to return home? I can't let you wear the clothes that Mrs. Ruan bought for you when I send you back."

So, Gu Huaiyan, who cares so much about his reputation, was afraid that he would still be wearing old clothes and be laughed at by others, so he took him to buy some clothes.

Hearing Ruan Zhao's thoughts, Gu Huaiyan didn't explain and just let him misunderstand. He could even use this as an excuse to buy him more things.

-

Because it was Christmas Eve, the mall was decorated with Christmas decorations everywhere, and even the music was jingle bells. People were coming and going in the mall, and everywhere there were couples holding hands in love.

Gu Huaiyan wore a casual outfit when he went out. He didn't have the calmness that a formal suit brought him. This made him look a lot younger. When Ruan Zhao walked into the mall, he took a look at the two people on the huge glass door. Apart from the height difference between the two people, Gu Huaiyan still looked like an office worker who took time out to accompany him, a student, to the mall.

In fact, ever since Mr. Gu passed away, Gu Huaiyan forced himself to grow up. He never chose his own clothes again. He threw away his youth and everything that represented immaturity. Even his gestures and movements were completely devoid of the boldness of his youth.

"See if there's anything you like." Gu Huaiyanxu hadn't been to a mall for many years. Although he wasn't familiar with the brands of these clothes, he used his businessman's intuition to take Ruan Zhao directly to a high-end clothing store suitable for young people.

The waiter came over and asked them, "What style would you like to see?"

Ruan Zhao pursed his lips, turned his head and asked Gu Huaiyan: "Should I buy something more mature, like yours?"

Gu Huaiyan looked him over without scruples: "Do you want to wear something formal?"

Ruan Zhao lowered his head a little shyly when he was stared at. Since Gu Huaiyan was wearing formal clothes, in order to look like a good match, he wanted to dress up formally with Gu Huaiyan: "I only have the suit I wore to the last cocktail party. It's too bright and I can't wear it out. What if I go back to the company at home? I can't wear casual clothes."

"Then let's buy the regular ones." Gu Huaiyan raised his lips slightly and led Ruan Zhao to another custom-made suit shop amid the disappointed look of the waiter.

It takes a long time to customize a set of clothes. After Gu Huaiyan asked the clerk to measure Ruan Zhao's size, he asked, "Do you have ready-made clothes that suit him?"

The clerk led two people to the display cabinet. Even the dark suits seemed bright and beautiful under the spotlight in the cabinet: "This gentleman has a slim figure. We only have this style that matches his size."

Ruan Zhao looked in the direction the clerk pointed and saw that it was a separate display cabinet with two personal stands in the cabinet. The two suits on the stands were of the same style, one black and one gray, and looked particularly good under the lights.

"This is our brand's new fall collection. Many couples choose this suit. It is a great choice for both engagement and wedding banquets."

Ruan Zhao listened to the clerk's words, and his heart, which had just been happy because he had found clothes that suited his eyes, suddenly became depressed. Gu Huaiyan sensed it and asked him, "Why? Don't you like it?"

"I think I should not buy it." Ruan Zhao shook his head. "Other people buy two sets together. It's not good for me to buy only one set."

"Then let's buy two sets together." Gu Huaiyan said.

"What?" Ruan Zhao just heard the clerk say that others bought them? They were all prepared to be worn at the engagement party or wedding banquet. He never? Never? Thought about preparing these things himself. He thought Mrs. Ruan would arrange them for him, and his understanding of the relationship between himself and Gu Huaiyan was that he just had to make Gu Huaiyan happy in bed.

What's more, most of Gu Huaiyan's suits are custom-made, so he would definitely not look down on this kind of ready-made clothes.

"You can't let Auntie take care of everything for you. You can choose the clothes for the engagement party yourself." Gu Huaiyan put a hand on Ruan Zhao's shoulder and pinched her. "You don't have to wear it only for the engagement. This dress is generous and decent, and the style is very suitable for you. It won't be a problem to wear it on a daily basis. What's more, if we buy two sets, it doesn't matter if the other set is hung in the closet and not worn."

"Your boyfriend is right." The clerk could tell from the clothes the two people were wearing that they lived a high standard of living, so he took the opportunity to promote the clothes to Ruan Zhao: "Our clothing is not targeted at large banquets. The designer wanted customers to wear it in their daily lives, so the design is relatively simple. You and your boyfriend can buy it and wear it on a daily basis."

Ruan Zhao couldn't resist the persuasion, hesitated? and had to agree, Gu Huaiyan smiled? looked at? him, and when he was staring at? the clerk packing clothes, suddenly? whispered in his ear: "How do you feel about buying your own wedding dress?"

The deep and magnetic voice followed by the breath penetrated into Ruan Zhao's ears, making him feel embarrassed standing in this brightly lit mall. He shrank his neck and retorted in a low voice: "It doesn't have to be worn only for the engagement. People said that you can wear it at ordinary times." Although he said so, because of Gu Huaiyan's words, he seemed to feel that he was really buying an engagement dress, and there was a trace of excitement and joy in his heart.

Gu Huaiyan felt Ruan Zhao's joy, and a sense of satisfaction came from his heart. He knew that forcing things to happen was not advisable. As a guardian, he had to guide the child to solve the problems by himself since the child was poor at schoolwork. Since Ruan Zhao had no concept of love at the moment, he would slowly infiltrate Ruan Zhao's life until Ruan Zhao no longer had the ability to leave him.

"You're right. This was originally bought for you to wear on a daily basis." Gu Huaiyan nodded in approval. "Next time you go to the company, you can wear this as my assistant."

He said the word "assistant" thoughtfully, and Gu Huaiyan listened attentively, wondering how Xiao Jizi would arrange their office play in his mind, and then he heard Ruan Zhao's voice.

It is not a voice from the heart, but a serious and solemn speech.

"You gave me clothes, so I'll buy you something in return."
